Monroe County RecyclerRecycling and Disposal Options for Monroe County Wisconsin Home Owners

SPARTA, WI

WHY RECYCLE? Monroe County is committed to recycling! Recycling bene�ts our community, our County, and our Country by conserving natural resources, protecting the environment, and reducing the amount of waste that is land�lled. The new way of thinking about our waste footprint is to �rst of all refuse things such as Styrofoam, plastic straws, plastic water bottles, and plastic grocery sacks, and opting for re�llable, reusable food containers and totes. Another suggestion is to rethink the purchase of items such asc plastic disposable ready-made cleaning solutions, opting instead to make your own non-toxic cleaning solutions at home, thus disposing and recycling less.

WHERE DOES MY RECYCLING GO? In Monroe County, recyclables go to a materials recovery facility (MRF) where the glass, plastic, metals, and paper is sorted and prepared for resale. These materials are re-manufactured into new products. To provide a convenient service to our Monroe County residents, the di�ering plastics with symbols , metal, and glass items can be comingled into your recycling container.

MONROE COUNTY RECYCLING EXCELLENCE AWARD In 2017 Monroe County was given the prestigious RECYCLING EXCELLENCE AWARD. Mr. Jerry Martell, of Modern Disposal Systems (facilities in Tomah and Sparta) was nominated and selected for his decades of innovated and top-notch recycling in conjunction with the Monroe County Solid Waste Department. This could not have been accomplished without YOUR involvement.
